THIS WEEK'S PICTURE VERSE

THIS WEEK'S
WORD OF ADMONITION:
All “pastors” and other “Bible teachers” would never have taken their so-called ministerial positions to begin with, if it weren't for the salary and fringe benefits.
They have created worldly careers for themselves at the expense of the kingdom of God and have manufactured the anti-Scriptural vocation of the "professional clergy.”
THIS WEEK’S CHURCH
CATCHPHRASE
“Go for counsel”
1) A meeting where sins and failings of other people are frequently mentioned; 2) A session where the pastor makes a “personal file” of the individual that will eventually be used to gain control and manipulate.
“I’m going to go for counsel with Pastor Bob and see what he thinks.”
The Scripture says that you should "test" every spirit...
not "trust" every spirit.
THIS WEEK'S BIBLE VERSE
But their minds were hardened: for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remaineth, it not being revealed to them that it is
done away in Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:14
See the truth come to life!
THIS WEEK'S
"The Pastoral Office"
“Church membership is how to declare one’s highest allegiance.”
There is great spiritual value in suffering at the hands of religious/church people. The suffering of our Lord was compounded and deepened in that His own people effected it.
Same with Joseph: His own brothers sold him into slavery.
God hardens the world of religion into organized, institutionalized lying entities for our sakes. He gives them mistranslated Bibles and big sticks.
It is our divine privilege to suffer at their hands (Philippians 1:29) just like our great Example and Savior did in His day.
Make no mistake about it, The Pharisees are alive and well.
Today, we call them local institutional church members.
The highest rank you can have in the Body of Christ is “servant.”
What’s it at “your church?”
